A thesis presented to the Department of Journalism and the Clark Honors College of the University of Oregon in partial fulfillment of the requirements for degree of Bachelor of Arts, Spring 2014.This thesis explores how the natural wildlife and complex culture along the coast of Uruguay have been and continue to be negatively impacted by the domestic and international plans for economic growth through mega-development. It is the feature style written component to a story and concept that is better argued and presented through multiple mediums. hence the initial multimedia website. I encourage readers to first thoroughly explore the stories presented in the website because the idea that I am defending in this thesis that argues qualitative observations and personal stories are more valuable than quantitative data may be easier to understand after a comprehensive look at the website.en-USAll Rights Reserved.EnvironmentUruguayMega-DevelopmentEnterprise JournalismNatureCultureThesis / Dissertation
